Halloween With the Young Adults

So mom can't seem to stay away from Halloween.  It's just in her blood.  The kids really loved the fact that she got dressed up.  What they don't know it this was nothing compared to the usual Halloween.  the Missionaries brought and investigator and had a good time.  We have two non-member attending our group.  One is from Uganda the other is from Lebanon.  The highlight of the night was the Pinata smashing.  Their first introduction to Mexican culture.  The pumpkin Pinata was made by Jeannine.

Sunday Night with th Missionaries

Elder Neil A. Anderson of the quorum of the 12 is coming to our Mission for a mission conference on November 14th.  Our Mission President has asked us to watch or read the last three talks given by Elder Anderson.  We decided to have all three companionship over for some Fettuccine Alfredo, Garlic Bread and a chocolate tort.  After dinner we watched three talks given by Elder Anderson.  We really have some great missionaries now and it was a very pleasant night.  

Soiree Familiale game night

We had a small group tonight due to a change of schedule, but they had fun and Emeric gave a great lesson.

Transfer Lunch for the Missionaries

Two going to Suisse, one going to Nimes and one going to Bayonne.  After 8 months in Marseille Sister Gunnel is finally going to a new area.  She gets to go to Suisse.  It will be sad to see them go.  We remain as always in Marseille. We see missionaries come and missionaries go.  On every transfer Saturday we have a BIG! lunch for the missionaries who are leaving at our home.  These are good missionaries.  We love them and wish them well.

Soiree Familiale de Marseille JA

So we were just made an Official JA center here in Marseille.  We are the only Stake in France with two JA Centers.  Very proud if this.  This is one of our family nights.  Coralie Abbate is teaching and dinner after.  Coralie has only been a member for about 8 months.  She is awesome!  Notice at the dinner the pottery.  This the stuff we bought in Saint Remy and Les Beau de Provence to bring home.  These are the young people we have learned to Love very much.

Day Trip Through Provence

Today mom and I went to get some things for the Center of a Provincial nature.  We bought some things that can only be purchased in certain areas of Provence.  We are trying to have all the different regions of Provence represented.  So we went to Saint Remy for some serving pottery for the JA dinners.  (Look for the pottery in the pictures of the dinners.  The pottery will be used for the first time tomorrow after Soiree Familiale.  Each week we have a dinner for the JA).  We started in Saint Remy, went through Cavaillon, then on to Avignon just for dinner since it was close.  We were just made an official Center so we are now going to get to buy new furniture, computers and hopefully a Wii.  The photos are nothing special, but driving from ville to ville in Provence is very tranquille. 

Driving from Saint Remy to Cavaillon.  This is a very enjoyable drive and beautiful drive.

Cavaillon, France.  Not much here but thought the center ville was nice.

Merry-Go-Round in Avignon.  This is at the end of our long day just before eating. 

Mom took this from our table as we ate in front of the Palais du Pape.  A little blurry due to lighting situation.
